What Causes Pain In Knee Around Kneecap?
i get severe knee pain after running just half a mile. Walking doesn t hurt unless it s after my run and even then it s just for about 20/30 minutes of manageable pain. My knee pops and cracks constantly. the pain comes from around my knee cap and the pain feels as if it s going to burst. Being an athlete, I m too scared to actually go see a doctor because i don t want to be told to rest and not play my sport. What possibly is causing my pain?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, muscular condition may be possible or it could be arthritis and it need to be differentiated try not to bend the knee joint till you get final diagnosis, for the pain I would suggest, "Tab Diclofenac 50 mg" once in day, if this fails to responds then it may need MRI study, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
